As the world reels from President Trump's trade tariffs, one of Africa's smallest, poorest nations takes one of the biggest hits – we speak to the trade minister of Lesotho. We also hear from a former US defense secretary, on how worried America's 'allies' should be.
Also in the programme: the home city of Ukraine’s President Zelensky suffers a deadly Russian missile attack; and we remember the world famous Malian musician Amadou, of Amadou and Mariam, who has died.
